Matthew 9:7 CPDV

⁵  Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise up and walk?'

⁶  But, so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,' he then said to the paralytic, 'Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house.'

⁷  And he arose and went into his house.

⁸  Then the crowd, seeing this, was frightened, and they glorified God, who gave such power to men.

⁹  And when Jesus passed on from there, he saw, sitting at the tax office, a man named Matthew. And he said to him, 'Follow me.' And rising up, he followed him.
